kandahar: The Hollywood action spy thriller film ‘Kandahar’ starring Gerard Butler and Ali Fazal has several action sequences with a lot of elaborate stunt work. Ali had a lot of stunt scenes and one of these stunts turned out to be a really difficult one which surprisingly was his opening shot. Explaining the shooting of the stunt, Ali Fazal said, “So while shooting Kandahar I remember shooting one of the hardest scenes and I suppose the most iconic shot for me was my entry. A very cool helicopter flying over a seabed. And just before he lands, I open the door and have to jump out, get into a moving van. And we run away. And then the van goes into the valley, I get on my bike. The van pulls up and the back door opens and the bike is there and then I have to ride off on the bike. But the sloping railing, I had to get off while taking a turn on a moving bike on the sand and then run off in the opposite direction.

He went on to say, “And that was probably one of the hardest shots I had been a part of in the movie. Because it was all so back-to-back it was hardest to keep a straight path on a moving bike on sand as I was constantly trying to maneuver but trying to keep my balance and keep the bike stable because the sand is like waves. So these things were really cool. It just looks beautiful on the big screen and I’m happy with how it turned out.” A major Hollywood production made on an estimated budget of $70 million, the film stars Gerard Butler, Travis Fimmel, Ali Fazal, Tom Rhye Harries, Farhad Bageri, Olivia-Mai Barret, and Navid Nagahban.

The film is directed by Ric Roman Waugh and released on May 26, 2023 to mixed reviews. Ali Fazal played the character of villainous Pakistani agent and Taliban ally Kahil Nasil in the film.
